The American Bystander Issue #31

Cover by Tom Toro | Ships October 2025

The flag is still there—and so are we.

With a striking cover by cartoonist Tom Toro, The American Bystander Issue #31 lands like a lunar module packed with satire, wit, and cultural despair. Inside: 70+ pages of all-new material from the best minds in American (and International) comedy—cartoons, essays, humor pieces, and quietly unhinged marginalia. No brain rot. No algorithms. Just pure independent print humor, delivered directly to your mailbox like it’s 1969 and the post office still worked.
